do din sy mere dil mein dard ho rha hai that i bought so many books but somehow forgot to buy letters to milena. i was literally standing there asking the uncle which book i had just said i wanted to buy & he was looking at me like kesi gajni numa aurat hai
learned this from amma. i was 14 when i first noticed how she’d adapt her whole self to whoever she was talking to, even changing her accent and picking up their language. she could've stuck to her own but watching her adapt like that really stayed with me.
